If you haven't checked out the forum on head trauma and concussion you may want to post there as well. My husband had a major head trauma last year, and has bumped his head since. He had a smell that he described as smelling death or something. Since he lost his sense of smell in the accident, his reporting a smell was strange. It has since past, but I read that this horrible smell is fairly common in head injuries. I have also read that even just one bump on the cabinet can cause concussion problems, and that repeated blows to the head, even slight, kind of add up to cause serious problems. I think you should go to see a neuro that deals with head injury and/or migraines, and detail the hits and falls on the head you're mentioning here. Did you bump your head even lightly prior to noticing the smell?
Good luck. I hope you find the cause soon.

Another weird possibly unrelated thing just started today. I smell something really gross but I can't figure out where it is coming from and my husband doesn't smell it. I took a shower just in case, LOL. At first I thought it was my pillow and then I started smelling the same smell in other parts of the house. It sort of smells like a dirty dog. I could even smell it outside, and it was not coming from outside because it was no stronger than inside.
Has anyone had experience or solutions to either problem?
Also, I always wonder if I injured my brain from one or many of the times that I was hit in the head or landed on my head. But doctors always ask if you have been knocked unconscious and I don't think I have. Could I have still down damage even if I was never knocked out?
